Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot — Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru “Grandes Ruchottes” 2023 is an elegant, structured Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune, prized for its pale green-gold hue, precision, and refined length on the finish. The profile is typically defined by bright citrus (lemon, lime) and white fruit, layered with a clear mineral backbone and subtle toasty, buttery nuances, supported by restrained oak—only around 15% new barrels to preserve purity and complexity. Broad-shouldered yet beautifully balanced, it combines power with finesse, offering a rounded, textured palate and a long, elegant, mineral-driven close. The wine is sourced from a specific parcel of mature vines, many dating back to 1973, and the 2023 vintage follows the domaine’s recent approach of tressing/tying the vines to encourage smaller, higher-quality bunches and greater airflow in the canopy, reinforcing the wine’s clarity and definition.

More About The Winery
With roots tracing back to the 17th century in Chassagne-Montrachet, the Pillot family has been deeply linked to Burgundy’s winemaking tradition. Originally coopers producing barrels, the family shifted its focus to the vine in the 19th century, gradually expanding their holdings on the prestigious slopes of Chassagne-Montrachet.
Today, under the guidance of Fernand and his son Laurent, the domaine spans 14.8 hectares across 22 appellations, with prized parcels in Chassagne-Montrachet, Pommard, Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault, Volnay, and Beaune. This wide mosaic of terroirs allows the Pillots to craft wines that are both precise and expressive, showcasing the diversity and elegance of Burgundy.
From refined Chardonnays that display mineral purity and tension, to silky, structured Pinot Noirs, Domaine Fernand et Laurent Pillot is celebrated for producing wines that combine tradition, balance, and terroir authenticity.
